CRAIG ALLEN

Dr. Allen’s research focuses upon the interactions among species and landscapes. This includes:

1. The interaction among non-indigenous species, declining species and landscape change,

2. Spatial patterns of species diversity and differences between the patterns observed in different taxa,

3. The spatial context of negative interactions between invasive and native species and,

4. Cross-scale structure in animal communities.

Dr.  Pope's research focuses on ecology of freshwater fishes. This includes:

1. Assessments of fish populations as a baseline for understanding aquatic communities and ecosystems,

2. Biotic and abiotic factors that affect recruitment and growth of fishes, and how these processes structure fish populations, and

3. The selectivity of recreational angling and its influence on fish populations.
